Xbox E3 2017 Briefing is Live

Here we go! One of the few presentations I look forward to every year. Microsoft has been pushing the envelope the past few years. Constant updates that I can't complain about. Let's see what they bring this year. 

Xbox Scorpio Price Revealed... Not Bad.

I can now say with confidence Project Scorpio is $499. Unless something changes today, that is what will be announced. — Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) June 11, 2017 Over the past year people I've chatted with friends that such a powerful console would cost the consumer between $750 and $1000. I felt that would be a fair price for gamers that are looking for top performance. At $500 it seems like a bargain. However, you have the consider the PC gaming market. PC gamers can build a very strong system for $750. So, $500 is a safe price. Plus, it plays into the hands of Xbox selling plenty of consoles during the holidays. What happened to the PS4 Pro? I think Xbox Scorpio will outsale Sony's  PS4 Pro. We'll find out more in Xbox's presentation that is only minutes away.

Xbox One S Unboxing - No Kinect Port #Video [Updated]

Image
The Xbox One S looks great. The new controller looks awesome and features Bluetooth. The interview is good. Plenty of information and changes for the new console. Until you realize one annoying, obvious thing. No Kinect port. Did they just abandon the technology? They don't talk about it. Will they allow for third party webcams? They don't talk about it. In this age of streaming, Twitch, and Youtube. And, of course, Microsoft's very own Skype. I can't imagine any console heading into the future without a camera. But, I guess only time will tell. UPDATE: Well, it turns out that you can use the Kinect Adapter for Windows  with the Xbox One S. And, you can even get for free if you already own a current Xbox One and the Kinect and you plan on ordering the new Xbox One S. You'll just need to give Microsoft all three serial numbers for each device. Learn more here .
